Lieutenant Robert Garrett was given onjy a half an hour's notice of his leave and when his pretty fiancee, Miss Gertrude Metz, received his wire there was a hurrying to and fro, as you can imagine, mere was just time enough to arrange the pink roses "in the baskets, telephone the minister -and assist the bride into her pretty '.pink gown before the wedding hour was at harm. Lieutenant and Mrs. Garrett skipped away to the east with- out naraiy waning lor mcir menus congratulations, for there was only a few days for a honeymoon before going to Americus, Ga., where Lieu tenant Garrett is stationed. We were fascinated by this young officer last winter, when he was a guest at the Metz home, for in his "service over "there" uniform he was certainly a handsome soldier. Mrs. E. S. Westbrook has devised a dever scheme. She has a tiny silk service nag flying from the windshield of her car for her chauffeur, who has entered the service. Drives and yet more drives I This week we have the Belgian babies and we will all be decorated with forget- me nots, for a beby can t be refused, even though a sea -separates us. The it- doughpiitP were wonderfully good and their sugary taste will linger long af- ter the Salvation Army drive is for gotten. It really was a novelty to see some of Omaha's best cooks lifting the round delicacies out of the sizzling fat, especially as the stoves were in a dugout on the court house lawn. This week marks the closing of the Field club. Happy Hollow gave its closing dinner dance Saturday even ing and the parties were so mce we regretted that the roomy, big club house would soon be deserted. Sey mour Lake club will close with a rol licking Harvest Home dance ending one of the most successful seasons this lakeside club has ever had. Just as mellow September fades into bril liant October the Country club will close its doors, for the last dinner dance of the season will be given Saturday, September 28.

Government Buys Butter and Price Goes Skyward Butter fat reached a new high rec ord in Omaha when the bovine prod uct was quoted at 56 cents delivered. Creamery men are, unanimous in the -belief that prices will go still higher unless the food administration inter venes. The increase price is largely due to the order of the government ' that creameries and warehouses must 4 hold 60 per cent of the butter put in . storage last month for the govern ment.

Washington Bureau of The Be. Washington, Sept. 14. Washington people are literally on the hunt. Those who are not hunting rooms, apart ments or houses, are hunting carpen ters, painters or paper hangers, and those who are doing neither one of those are searching for cooks, house maids or butlers, or all of them. Con gressional families, most of whom have been absent from Washington but a short time, are returning early to place the children in school. On the first autoless Sunday Presi dent and Mrs. Wilson drove out to the morning service at the Central Presbyterian church in a handsome, well appointed victoria, drawn by two sleek, shining bays, driven by a dark- liveried coachman, but with no foot man on the box. They drove in this style also in the afternoon, far out into the country, as is their custom. Last Sunday they did not go outside the White House. It rained all day. But on Monday afternoon they took their customary country drive, using this same victoria ana horses and the solitary coachman. The president intends to save his full quota of gaso line each week, whether it be on Sun day or on Monday. Mrs. Newton -D. Baker, wife of the secretary of war, had as her guest this week the little Japanese prima donna, Mme. Tamaki Miura, who has made her name almost musically immortal as Mme.

WASH THEIR WN HAIR They do, not-because it is a fad, but because they wish to obtain the ' greatest possible hair, beauty and be sure they are not using anything harmful. They have found that in washing the hair it is never wise to use a makeshift, but is always ad visable to use a preparation made for shampooing only. Many ,. of our friends say they get the best results from a simple home-made Canthrox mixture. You can use this at a cost of about 3 cents a shampoo by getting some Canthrox from your druggist and dissolving a tettspoonful in a cup of hot water. This makes enough shampoo liquid to apply to all the hair, instead of just the top of the head, as with most preparations. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dis solved and entirely disappear in the rinsing water. Your hair will be so1 fluffy that it will look much heavier than it is. Its luster and softness will also delight you. Adv. f J tlb-tj'inwillbj tf log, Mssat-ter From September Piano Trad Magastnt.
